と弁の相対回転を防止する。Further, the bracket has a pair of opposing elastically deformable spring arms, and each arm has a second arm.
It has a pair of tabs and when the user inserts the valve body into the cavity, it deflects against the struts. The arm resiliently engages the undercut portion of the strut to prevent valve dislodgement. The second tab engages the side of the strut to prevent relative rotation of the bracket and valve.
